on the road again

It was well over a week ago that we went to Duluth (what can I say. . . computer time is extremely limited these days) and we had a great weekend up in the cool north. We drove up after going to see THE WIGGLES at the Target center. It was one of those moments that you realize that you are truly a parent when you are actually excited about seeing a children's group live in concert - I mean, we have only heard hours and hours of their music over the past two years and have spent countless nights with the lyrics "Fruit Salad" playing over and over in our heads as we try to drift off to sleep. But it was awesome to see Bergen jumping around, dancing and singing along to their music. He had so much fun and had I known we could bring the camera in to the concert I can only imagine the number of photos we would have taken!


We went to Duluth for the annual Rose Lake celebration for Grandma Doris' birthday as she turned 93-years-young (as Lars likes to say) this year! Everyone was excited to meet Annika and she was in her usual form - happy to be held and sleeping away! Grandma Doris was very excited to meet her newest great-grandchild and it was fun for us to do a four generations picture with the girls:

It was so wonderful to see the family as this is usually the one time of year that we see my cousins. I was shocked at how big my "little" cousins are which just makes me feel old - I used to be the little cousin playing with their kids and now their kids are playing with my kids. Where, oh where, does the time go?
